I chose "Very important" Generally speaking we provide for the chickens and expect them to do the same in return.
We are still new to keeping chickens and have not decided if we are going to add light this winter. We have yet to cull a chicken that is not producing but assume I will... again I have only kept chickens for 6 months or so. So my feelings on these topics are not firmed up yet.
I work many jobs and my wife is homeschooling our children... I see lots of people that keep chickens as pets and I say what ever floats your boat.. more power to ya.... We have a dog, she also serves a purpose. She is a affectionate compainion and she assistes in our homes security. My wife loves her cats, so much so that if she had to chose between me and the cats I think I would lose. In summary we would not keep chickens if they did not provide for us.
